Representative Matters
- 1. Expedited Grant of Invention Patents
In patent confirmation and commercialization matters in the medical technology and digital healthcare sectors, Ms. Meng has made effective use of patent pre-examination and prioritized examination mechanisms. She has provided comprehensive legal services to several Grade-A tertiary hospitals in Shanghai for digital healthcare-related inventions, including patent filing strategy, design of expedited grant pathways, and establishment of a sound pre-commercialization patent basis.
For example, in relation to a digital healthcare technology of Ruijin Hospital that urgently required technology transfer and commercialization, Ms. Meng assessed the innovation points, industrialization needs, and commercialization timetable of the technology, assisted the client in selecting and initiating the patent pre-examination procedure, and ultimately helped secure an allowance notice for the invention patent within two months, significantly shortening the usual examination cycle for invention patents. The expedited grant provided a stable, clear, and enforceable patent-right basis for the subsequent technology transfer and hospital-enterprise cooperation, substantially reduced the time cost of commercialization, and was highly recognized by both the hospital and its partner company.
2. Trademark and Unfair Competition Enforcement
Ms. Meng represented Varia in providing a full package of intellectual property legal services against market infringers. She also represented a well-known film company in launching trademark infringement and unfair competition complaints against infringing gift-ticket activities in the market.
3. Patent Litigation
In a utility model patent infringement dispute involving appellants Chongqing Company A, Chongqing Company B, Wu, and Wuxi Company C against appellee Shenzhen Company D and the original defendant Zhejiang Tmall Network Co., Ltd., Ms. Meng acted as the second-instance litigation representative for Chongqing Company A and Wu. She was deeply involved in core work including fact investigation, comparison of technical solutions, analysis of the patent protection scope, development of non-infringement and other defense strategies, and preparation of appellate arguments.
The case involved complex legal and technical issues, including utility model patent infringement analysis, comparison between the accused technical solution and the technical features of the asserted patent claims, prior art defense, and allocation of liability. In the second-instance proceedings, Ms. Meng focused on the disputed issues in the first-instance judgment and, by reference to the patent specification, claims, technical features of the accused products, and relevant evidence, systematically argued errors in the first-instance judgment regarding fact-finding, application of law, and infringement comparison. Through successful invalidation of the asserted patent, the Supreme People's Court ultimately revoked the first-instance judgment and the client prevailed in the second-instance proceedings.
